</p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>I am a huge RP-fag, and I do have a couple of alts I’ve never really used, which are RP-able.
</p><p></blockquote>
</p><p>Likewise. And I have only posted in the RP forums very occasionally, for some of the reasons you mention. I’m certainly not going to claim that it would make a blind bit of difference if I did, but wnen RP-fags (old and new) aren’t bothering with the RP forums that’s a strong indication that Spacekadt has a point.
</p><p>
</p><p>A serious issue with new people is this. Realistically, if a new poster is interested in RP, they aren’t going to be reading threads from a year ago. They’ll just look at the more recent ones. And the most prominent (as opposed to most popular or best) posters in the RP forum are spamming, repeating memes and constantly slipping out of character. And a new player is either going to decide that isn’t the kind of RP they want to do. Or they’re going to assume it’s what we do here and imitate it. That’s compounded by the fact that Whiny Bitches is at the top of the list of RP forums, despite not being a fucking RP forum in any way, shape or form. That admin decision does make things more difficult.
</p><p>
</p><p>“Whine about the game all you like here”.
</p><p>
</p><p>How the fuck is that about people to posting in character?
</p><p>
</p><p>This idea might work or it might not. I think it’s worth a try, at least. To give it the highest chance of success, you need the following:
</p><p>
</p><p>1. If you can’t have a full forum, at the least you need a subforum, with official backing. I totally understand the demands on admin time now. But without at least passive support from the people who run things, this is pointless.
</p><p>
</p><p>2. It needs to be clear that, as well as it being a forum to stay in character, it’s specifically for RPing with other people. Master Troll’s point about interaction is spot on. Even if it’s entirely in character, posting spam or shock images with no attempt to make it relevant to the thread isn’t going to aid the kind of RP or character development people are looking for with this.
</p><p>
</p><p>3. If someone breaks the fourth wall in any way at all, ban them. No warnings. No discussion.
</p><p>
</p><p>4. Make it clear that mod decisions on that are entirely discretionary and don’t even have to follow the rest of the site rules. It’s the case that most successful forums with a large proportion of flamers and trolls make it clear that the only rule is “we’ll ban you if we want to”. Because otherwise, as we’ve seen, people just nitpick and argue semantics.

</p><p>
</p><p>But some of us voted for it because we thought it was well-written and funny. I don’t actualy have any issue with Bashy winning loads at all. I like most of his forum ideas hence I voted for them.
</p><p><blockquote>Whether pulling it or not was the right call, I don’t know. But I see the logic behind it just fine, and if JB thinks it’s a go-nowhere idea, I can trust his judgment, because he’s done work that convinces me he has a good sense of humor.</blockquote>
</p><p>Sometimes forums win I don’t find funny. But what you’re saying here I don’t really have a problem with. JB vetoed it because it didn’t suit his personal sense of humour. And he gets the power to do that because he works for CZ and hence can stamp his personal preferences on the game. Fine. Can we just stop pretending there’s any more to it than that.

</p><p>
</p><p>... one of them is a metajoke about ForumBuildr as a whole, one of them is a joke about a <em>single player</em> that is currently “famous” among ForumBuildr players? Alternately, one could say that it’s a joke about all the people who bitch about the single player, but either way, I find it hard to believe “a forum about a facet of the game we’re all playing” is seriously “the same” as “a forum about hating a guy who’s currently winning a lot at the facet of the game.” Longevity, if nothing else, should set them apart.</blockquote>
</p><p>
</p><p>How many new players are going to get most of the references though? The enemy names alone are going to draw a complete blank with them. So the only real difference is that it’s jokes about one “famous” player as opposed to several. It’s equally exclusionary either way.</p>HuGGleS4EVerYoNE2009-05-19T00:57:25Ztag:www.forumwarz.com,2007-10-31:DiscussionPost/598720Bashy Bashers?

</p><p>As I said in the other thread though, what’s the difference between this and Battlethreadz ThreadConstructr v3.0 Gamma?

</p><p>I’m not one of the people who’s all outraged over this decision, merely slightly puzzled by it. Because, it might have been a joke forum, but in my view it was actually a well written one.
</p><p>
</p><p>I think the worry about buildr scores is overblown as well. It’s going to affect most of us who submit forum ideas regularly, so everyone’s in the same boat. It’ll just lead to slightly fewer submissions while people build their scores back up.

</p><p>I’m not sure it makes a difference either way. I can’t see anybody going “well, I was going to play Forumwarz but now there’s an inside joke forum I shall not!” And if we’re going to say injokes are bad, what about Battlethreadz ThreadConstructr v3.0 Gamma? That’s an official forum and it’s nothing but injokes, no?
</p><p>
</p><p>*Shrugs*
</p><p>
</p><p>I’m not fussed either way. I downvoted Fran Is Fat because I didn’t feel there was much humourous potential to be gained. I upvoted this because I actually think it could be amusing. Same as I do every week.
</p><p>
</p><p>Not everything is a conspiracy.
</p><p>
</p><p>But, then again, I don’t actually care if it’s deleted either. Actually, stick one of my minus five submissions in instead. In that case deletion has my unconditional support.

</p><p>
</p><p>No it isn’t. At least not in the context of game theory, which is obviously what applies here. By allowing for more possible winning strategies to be used (which an element of uncertainty would do), it becomes more strategic.

</p><p>Letting you submit fourteen shitty thread ideas that might get picked is more beneficial to the game than letting you submit fourteen shitty item ideas, one of which might get picked. Similarly, the game benefits more from fourteen good thread ideas over the course of one week rather than fourteen good item ideas, thirteen of which won’t get used immediately.</blockquote>
</p><p>That’s fine in theory, but it doesn’t address the real problem of downvoting abuse. Unless that’s rectified, anything else is a side issue. Because I really don’t believe that every single item submission has been shitty, not once but repeatedly.
</p><p>
</p><p>The problem exists in Forumbuildr as well. The only difference is that the higher volume of submissions means it’s less stark.
